Usually you would test your firewall with the applications you need to use through it. That would be the only realistic test application wise. For testing sustained tcp connections you can use a tool tike TTCP, which can open the connection and test throughput of your firewall. http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/pcattcp.htm Foor DDOS simulations, you would need multiple pc's on your network and a simulation tool: http://www.ssfnet.org/javadoc/SSF/App/DDoS/package-summary.html -Sietse ________________________________ From: netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Fabio S.
